What Happens When You Change the Site Language in WordPress?

When you change the site language in WordPress, you’ll see a change in how posts and pages are displayed. For posts, the title, excerpt, and thumbnail will be in the new language.

For pages, the title and content will be in the new language, but the header and footer will still be in English.

Assuming you’ve got your site set up in the new language, you’ll need to update any custom WordPress themes or plugins that use the default WordPress language file. The easiest way to do this is to copy the language file from the English version of your site to the new version, and then change the name of the file in the theme or plugin directory.

When you’re done, you’ll need to upload the new language file to the server and activate it in the WordPress admin area. Once activated, the site will use the new language throughout.
